Real Estate Public Relations Detroit, MI

Marx Layne & Company has over two decades of specific experience assisting developers throughout southeast Michigan in the complex communications process. We have worked with developers on everything from adaptive reuse of loft space in dense urban areas to communicating master plans for neo-traditional communities on vast tracts of undeveloped agricultural land. It has been our experience that developers who carefully plan their communications strategy save time, money, and grief by communicating with targeted audiences throughout each stage of the development process.

Services to commercial, industrial, mixed-use, residential builders and developers and property management companies begin with coordinating communications to local officials, along with area residents and decision makers. The next step involves marketing support to attract buyers and continues with awareness campaigns in the form of newsletters, media relations and community relations.

During the site plan and zoning review process, we apply extensive experience to prepare informational kits, public presentations, videos, neighborhood meetings, talking points for hearings, direct mail and media placements of guest columns and letters to gain support. Our communications, public affairs and marketing specialists make sure developers’ messages are clear, responsive and convincing.

Beyond print materials, we draw prospective buyers through appealing web sites, special events, personal media contacts and by involving developers in community events. One-stop services — such as handling web design, content and site maintenance – let builders focus on their business while we provide a wide range of communication and marketing tools.

News coverage to reinforce awareness of developments can be earned through opportunities to spotlight distinctive architecture, recreation paths, nature areas or other amenities.
